I heart my uncle FREEBIE

My son had so much fun yesterday on the train ride he didn't want to leave when it was over.


We had lunch together then stopped by to see my Aunt and Uncle who are celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary!!!
Happy Anniversary Aunt Mer and Uncle Vinnie we love you!

They were outside enjoying the afternoon when we got there, and right away my uncle gets out this riding truck for my son. Anthony ended up crashing into everything, the wall, the chair, the table even a tree. I couldn't look anymore! it was his first time driving and clearly he needs more practice.

Driving that truck clearly had some major impact on my little guy, more than the train ride! This morning while getting ready he told me he didn't want to go to school. When I asked him why, this was the answer:

if you don't understand "Anthony speak" he said
"I want to go see Uncle Vinnie"
"because I want to see"
"because I want to play with the big car"

This inspired today's freebie:

Happy Father's Day!!!

I've really been looking forward to having a family day. We are heading to a train museum and going on a train ride. I made the mistake of telling him we were going on a train ride and he's been asking and asking when we are going.

I am excited to capture new pictures of my husband with my son and if I'm lucky get a few of myself with my little boy. I hope you all enjoy yourself and capture your own memories on camera. Here's a little word art for you to add to your pages.

Marco...Polo Freebie

It was hot out yesterday! My mom and I went to Kohl's in the morning while my son was at school. After lunch we all went in the pool. It was so refreshing.


I tried to teach my 3 1/2 year old the game of Marco Polo, but he didn't really understand. He liked that I would swim to find him but if I said Marco, he said Marco. it was very cute. Which inspired a word art freebie for all you pool goers out there.

Today is the last day for the Fun Colorful Alpha sale.
